About Me

Hello, and welcome to my little corner of the world! I'm Christy and I am so blessed to be the wife of a wonderful, God-fearing man as well as the mom of four great children.

In our family, learning is not about 'filling a bucket', but it's about 'lighting a fire'! We sincerely desire for our children to love to learn, and that's why we homeschool.

Book knowledge will only take our children so far. But if their hearts are trained toward the things of the Lord, then they will be ok no matter what life may bring them.

I'm glad you're here. Grab a warm mug of hot chocolate, sit back, and read about the many different things that I think throughout the day... "Hey, that would make a good blog entry!"

My Family

In May of 1993 the Lord finished creating me when he sent me my other half, the half that I had been without for the first 17 years of my life. Two short years later, we were married and I was finally whole."I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go..." Song of Solomon 3:4

Over the next few years God blessed us beyond our wildest dreams when He sent us four beautiful angels. Our children have brought us more joy than we ever knew was possible and we are honored God chose us to be their parents."Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward..." Psalm 127:3

Our Children

*Baby Girl- age 17

Because she was our long-awaited, much-anticipated, prayed-and-hoped-for first baby and will always be our baby girl.

*Handsome- age 14Because when he was younger he thought his little brother was cuter than he was, so mommy started calling him her little handsome guy.

*Reece Cup- age 13Because his middle name is Reece and when he was little he was the sweetest little thing and I called him my little Reece Cup because I could have just eaten him up!

*Princess- age 12Because she was our baby princess and was treated as such by everyone in our home right from the moment she was born.

I did it! After being here on Blogger for several months I finally figured out how to change the look of my blog! I used to do it all the time when I was at HomeSchoolBlogger, but simply couldn't figure it out here. All it took was waaayyy too many hours of sitting here and playing around with the code until I figured it all out. Now, if I can just remember what I did when it's no longer Christmas!

So what do you think? Like it? I don't know, I think the colors make me look a little bit sickly in my avatar picture. Ah well. It's a miracle we even have a picture of me at all, since I adamantly refuse to be photographed, so I guess we'll just stick with the sickly-looking one.

Oh, speaking of HomeSchoolBlogger, which I still love intensely (but just didn't have the patience to figure all the new changes out so that's why I moved to Blogger...so I could figure a WHOLE NEW place out *rolling my eyes at myself on that one*)... ANYWAY, if you know of the Surez's at all (the publishers of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine), head on over to their blog (or here at Paul's blog, which has more pictures and even a few videos of the new tiny miracle) and congratulate Paul and Gena on the birth of their new little daughter, Susanna Hope! She's such a cutie-patootie!
